FISH-HORN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 28, 1908.

Application filed June 29. 1907. Serial No. 381513.

Horns, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in fish-horns by whichthey can be manufactured at a lower price, and the invention consists ofa fish-horn in which the vibrating tongue'formed at the end of thetubular body is made integral with said body so as to dispense with thesoldering on of the tongue and produce a cheaper and more durablefish-horn than those heretofore. in use.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side-elevation of myimproved fish-horn, Fig. 2 is a vertical central section through themouthpiece, showing the sounding-end of the horn in side-elevation, Fig.3 is a longitudinal section on line 3, 3, Fig. 2, Fig. 4 is a transversesection on line 4, 4, Fig. 3, and Fig. 5 is an enlarged plan-view of theblank from which the conically flaring body of the fish-horn is made.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout theseveral fig ures.

Referring to the drawings, (it represents the conically flaring body ofmy improved fishhorn and b the wooden or other mouthpiece used with thesame. The tubular body is made of one piece of sheet-metal and sol deredor otherwise connected at the overlapping meeting edges. Thesounding-end is out off obliquely to the axis of the tubular body andslightly curved at its edge, as shown in Fig. 3. The tongue (1 is madein one piece with the end of the conically flaring body out from theblank, as shown in Fig. 5, it being then bent over the curved edge ofthe sounding-end of the conically flaring body a, as shown in Fig. 3. Bymaking the tongue integral with the body a not only a more durablefish-horn is obtained as the soldering of the piece and the consequentloosening of the tongue is prevented, but also the work of soldering onthe tongue is dispensed with. The fish-horn can thereby be made at asmaller cost than the fish-horns used heretofore, while by making thetongue integral with the end of the conically flaring body a strongerand more durable connection of the tongue with the body, and thereby astronger horn, is obtained.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

A fish-horn the body of which is cut off obliquely to its axis at itssounding-end and provided with a tongue made integral with said body.

In testimony, that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signedmy name inpresence of two subscribing witnesses.
